Chapter 443

Author: Lean
I lay in the hospital bed and nodded. "Yes, Frank."

Initially, as I was searching for Frank, I had slowly come to accept the possibility that he might be dead. But lying in the hospital bed that time, I thought it through again.

He definitely wasn't dead.

That encounter on the street that day must have been some kind of divine guidance.

After that, my condition improved rapidly, as if someone who was on the brink of death suddenly had hope for recovery.

At that moment, Frank no longer had his usual nonchalant demeanor. His expression was serious. "No, Charlotte, you can't do this again..."

"Then you need to protect yourself."

I wasn't afraid of his serious tone. I then said deliberately, "Frank, if you dare to get into trouble, I'll kill myself for you."

"Are you threatening me?"

"Yes, I'm threatening you. Are you scared?"

"Yes." He was helpless against me, his eyes full of fear and affection. "I'm not afraid of anything except that something might happen to you."

    In Jelaston, at a private club.Glasses clinked and the atmosphere was lively.The man sitting in the main seat wore a high-end suit, his expression on his flawless face was very neutral, showing no sign of joy or anger.But even without saying a word, his presence alone was enough to dominate the entire room.The man sitting to his right, Felix Langford, stood up with a glass of wine. "Mr. Frost, we are absolutely sincere about this project. Whatever conditions the RF Group has, we can agree to."Whether the project was profitable or not was not important.What mattered was connecting with the RF Group.In Jelaston now, who wouldn’t want to work with the RF Group?One would show their sincerity by starting with a project. The rest could come later.However, having said this, the man in the main seat didn't even raise his head.Clearly, such gestures of goodwill were nothing new to the RF Group.Ryan glanced at his watch, then stood up calmly. "Since there's nothing new, you

    He hoarsely said, "Let’s head home."The driver obediently headed towards Ryan’s house.Then came the three words from behind, "Go to Moon Lake Bay."The driver hesitated for a moment.He glanced at Ryan's expression in the rearview mirror, then turned the car around at the intersection.The rain continued to fall, pounding on the car body, but Ryan felt as if it was still pelting down on him.Bit by bit, it extinguished the inherent pride and nobility that was deeply ingrained in him.The car stopped in the courtyard of the Moon Lake Bay villa. Before the driver could open an umbrella, Ryan had already ignored the rain and stepped out of the car.Entering this villa again, entering the home he shared with Charlotte.He felt a disorienting sense of being lost in time.As if, just yesterday, after coming back from drinking at a social event, Charlotte would still be there, welcoming him the moment she heard the noise, helping him to the sofa.Carefully making him a hangover s

    Ryan rarely heard her use that kind of tone.When they were together, Charlotte was mostly calm and gentle.She was adept at work and organized in life.She rarely spoke with such a girlish tone.Ryan ended the call in a panic, his large hand slipping and the phone thudding softly onto the carpet.It revealed a hint of the owner's helplessness.Ryan had originally wanted to ask, to confirm what exactly her relationship with Frank was.But hearing her happy tone, he no longer had the courage to ask or confirm.He knew well that he dared not, and did not deserve to.Moreover, even if he asked, what would it change?She was so wonderful, deserving of anyone's affection.In the end, his sudden realization seemed somewhat trivial compared to Frank's unwavering devotion over the years.But fortunately, he still had plenty of time.Frank could wait.So could he.He thought, in a despicable way, that as long as they weren't married, he might have a chance to seize the opportunit

    On the other end of the line. "No, the other one.""The other one?"Felix wracked his brain but had no impression at all. However, knowing that he could only find out so much from his girlfriend, he didn't dwell on it for too long. "Alright, got it. Thanks, sweetheart. Love you."After a few more endearing words, he hung up and dialed his assistant."Find out immediately about the two founders of the Charlotte Jewelry. I need their profiles and photos."If he could help Ryan win back his ex-wife, he would likely become a distinguished guest of RF Group from then on.What was there to worry about?The next day, thinking about Frank going back to the Smith family that night, I felt a bit uneasy after finishing Yasmin's dress.Jane saw through it and said, "There's no point in being anxious, and do you think Frank would fall in the same place twice?""I'm just worried...""Worried about what?"Jane smiled, pulling me down onto the sofa, "Do you think, to Frank, you are more i

    Over the past couple of days, I had been periodically reviewing the events of that night. The juice was handed to me by a waiter. If the target wasn't me, the chances of it being handed to me would be very low. However, among everyone at the banquet, I only recognized a few people, Yasmin, Joanne, and Ryan. None of them were possible culprits. Yasmin's care for me was evident. Joanne was with her, so she definitely wouldn't have drugged me. As for Ryan, it was even more impossible.That left only Christine, someone with who had a grudge against me.Moreover, I could sense Christine's hostility to some extent. I just didn't know what her motive was.Upon hearing the question, Christine's expression froze, and then she looked at me with a confused face, "I drugged you? What kind of drug?"I smiled and countered, "You drugged me. Don't you know what kind of drug it was?"Actually, I wasn't sure if it was her. It was just a test.Christine was about to speak when Yasmin walked over

    "Graduated from a prestigious school, impressive resume," the assistant answered.But what he found was only Charlotte's domestic resume.Felix was dismissive. "What's a good resume going to do? The Frost family is wealthy and powerful. they don't need their wife's resume to make an impression."The assistant guessed, "Well... maybe Mr. Frost just prefers this type of woman?"Men have different tastes and preferences. Some like red roses, while others prefer gardenias.Felix took this in and, flipping through the documents, pondered, "So she's in Jeswood now?""Yes.""Let's go."Felix grabbed his car keys and was ready to leave in a hurry. The longer he delayed, the greater the chance the project would fall into someone else's hands. And he was determined to win it."Mr. Lennox..." The assistant hesitated. "We... we can't afford to offend them either."Felix paused for a moment. "What do you mean?"It was just the founder of the Charlotte Jewelry. Besides, he wasn't going to

    Although I had thought about it, I still felt uneasy. Would finding her really be the same as I imagined? She might have already started a family, had children, and be living a happy life. My appearance might just be a stone disturbing her stable life. Moreover, with the silver pendant lost two years ago, finding her would be even more difficult than finding a needle in a haystack.Unexpectedly, Yasmin said, "I can help you, whether it's through public searches or private inquiries. It's up to you how you want to proceed."I was surprised. "Really?""Of course." Yasmin nodded, glanced at Christine, who was juicing in the kitchen, with a gentle and obviously maternal gaze. "If someone had been willing to help Christine in the past, perhaps I could have recognized her sooner.""You and Christine..." I hesitated slightly. "Were you separated before?"If that were the case...I had to wonder if Christine's true identity was really Yasmin's daughter. Two years ago, she had deceive

    Even if I said more, she might still choose not to believe me and doubt Christine, her "biological daughter".I placed the juice on the coffee table, picked up my bag, and said, "Ms. Jackson, sorry to disturb you today."After Christine left the living room, Yasmin suddenly relaxed. The hatred in her heart surged again. However, as she calmed down, she felt something was off. She picked up her phone and called Joanne."Joanne, see if you can find out if there were any grievances between Christine and Charlotte two years ago."‘From the way Charlotte acted earlier, it didn't seem like she just wanted to chat. It seemed more like a reminder of something.’"Sure!" said Joanne. She then asked curiously, "What's going on? Why the sudden need to look into this matter?""I'm not sure yet."Yasmin couldn't explain it and continued, "Also, find out when Charlotte's birthday is."She couldn't make sense of the connections at the moment. But her intuition told her to investigate.T

    On the other side, Caleb threw his phone aside.The force was considerable, and it landed with a loud thud.If not for its special design, the screen would likely have shattered by now.Max, standing nearby, laughed. Seeing him silently drinking, he asked knowingly, "What's the matter? Has your wife taken a liking to someone else?"If it were anyone else, if their husband left without a word and answered a phone call with such cold indifference, they would surely be angry.Even if they didn't make a fuss, there would at least be some sign of frustration.Max guessed that Caleb wouldn't say anything, so he flipped open a blank document, his tone sarcastic. "Come on, you've traveled all the way from Yelar to Impelia for a business trip. It must be for a deal worth tens of billions, right?"He wrote "10 billion" on the blank sheet of paper, signed his name in the bottom corner, and handed it to Caleb. "Alright, sign here."Caleb gave it a cursory glance, his expression cold.Even

    When Whitney went out, she ran into Yvonne and handed her the car keys. "Sorry for the trouble, Yvonne.""It's no trouble. I’ll just give them to Millie later on. Don't worry about it.""Okay."Whitney waved goodbye to Yvonne and got into Georgina's car.Georgina exchanged a few words with Yvonne before driving off.On the road, she asked, "Why didn't you get your driver's license?"Whitney replied, "I did, but I haven't driven on the road yet. I'm afraid I might damage Gilbert's car.""How could that happen?" Georgina laughed. "Gilbert's identity is special. The car has armor on the outside, it's crash-resistant, bulletproof, and resistant to everything.""As long as you avoid pedestrians, you'll be fine."Whitney still didn't dare.Georgina asked, "Didn't Caleb help you practice? He doesn't have much to do anyway."Caleb had indeed offered to help her practice driving.But she didn't dare, afraid of crashing his car, something she could never afford to repair.She liked

    His eyes were ice cold. His noble background and the inherent sense of authority he carried made her feel breathless.She stood there for a while, then picked up the plate and walked over.Tentatively, she asked, "Do you... do you want some food?"Caleb looked at her for a few seconds before opening his mouth.Whitney sighed in relief, using a fork to pick up a piece of pasta to feed him.Seeing that he seemed to be eating fine, she slowly continued feeding him.Suddenly, she asked, "Was your alcohol poisoning a lie?"Caleb was still a little stirred up inside, his voice calm as he asked, "Do you want to have an argument?"Whitney didn't dare.She had only suddenly remembered this matter.Earlier, he had pinned her down for a while, yet she hadn't noticed anything wrong.Even if he was physically fine, he had gone to the hospital today, and surely, he shouldn't have had this much energy at night.Although she didn't know why his mother had lied with him, she understood that

    Whitney was surprised and said sincerely, "Both of you are really talented."Georgina smiled, "We're from the same orphanage. We're not biological sisters, but we're just like real sisters."At that moment, Taylor came over, and Yvonne introduced her to Whitney.Taylor was also a quiet person. The two smiled at each other and then fell into silence.Georgina said to Taylor, "Get ready. His flight should be tomorrow night."Taylor's face immediately darkened. "Okay."Whitney sensed that something was off, but seeing their expressions, she wisely didn't ask."Let's go," Caleb returned with the food and called out to Whitney.Whitney didn't want to go back. "I want to talk with Georgina for a while."Caleb didn't speak, only looked at her, but his gaze was cold.Reluctantly, Whitney followed him back.Yvonne hooked her arm around Georgina's shoulder, watching Whitney follow Caleb to the room.She smiled slightly. "She looks really cute. Just like when you were Lucifer's secret

    Whitney deeply regretted it when Caleb pinned her down in the hot spring pool.She should have just driven the car back slowly. Once they were in the city, she could switch drivers.She could have said she was nervous driving, that she was too tired, and surely she would have been able to avoid all of this.Instead, she had chosen to stay here and do something so embarrassing."This is an outdoor hot spring..."The boldest thing Whitney had ever done was when a man with some power had used his position to take advantage of her.At that time, she had been truly frustrated.She had worked so hard, with blood on her hands, just to survive and live a stable life.Yet, there was always someone trying to make her life difficult.In a fit of anger, she had used a brow-shaping knife to hurt that man.If it weren't for meeting Zachary, she would definitely be worse off than a street rat by now.But Caleb could always break her understanding of things and perform such bold actions."

    "Georgina should know him better than I do, since you've known him longer than I have."Georgina nodded. "That's true, which is why I asked you if he's always bullying you. I just know how annoying his personality can be."Millie agreed, "Exactly.""Whitney, I've told you from the moment I met you—if you're being bullied, you have to tell me."But Whitney had never told her anything!She had thought that Caleb loved her so much that he wouldn't do anything to bully Whitney.But today, she realized that wasn't the case."You really have to listen to Georgina."Whitney nodded repeatedly but still said, "He hasn't bullied me, you guys don't need to worry."Some things, even though she admired and liked the Georgina, she couldn't say.If Caleb got angry, she would be the one to suffer. And perhaps it would also affect the Collins family.Since there was nothing wrong between them as a couple, outsiders wouldn't say much.Georgina's earlier remarks were also a subtle probe.It

    Millie laughed so hard that her stomach hurt. She pointed at Caleb with a chicken leg. "Look at you now."She hugged Whitney, unable to contain her excitement. "You really stood up for me, Whitney."Whitney slowly processed what had just happened and turned to look at Caleb.Caleb, arms crossed, leaned back in his chair with a displeased expression on his face.Whitney nervously bit her lip. "I'm sorry..."Caleb's displeasure deepened. "Why are you apologizing?"Whitney looked at him sincerely. "I shouldn't have joined in teasing you. You're my husband, I should have spoken up for you."Caleb's anger suddenly dissipated.He patted Whitney on the head. "Alright, you've made progress. I'll forgive you this time, but don't let it happen again."Whitney nodded. "Thank you."The three girls across from them were all taken aback.The one laughing the hardest, Millie, was now staring wide-eyed.She had never seen anyone pursue someone like this.Caleb was unbelievable.Blake, ho

    Whitney glanced at the steak and said she wasn't going to eat anymore, she was full.But her gaze remained fixed on Georgina.Caleb was rendered speechless.Georgina noticed this and rested her chin in her hand, looking at Whitney with a smile. "Whit likes me, doesn't she?"Up until now, only Jane and the others had called her Whit.But hearing it from her idol felt completely different.Whitney immediately felt a surge of nervousness. The flush from the hot spring had barely faded, but now it quickly came rushing back.She stammered, unable to speak for a long while.Georgina's smile deepened. "What's so embarrassing? I like Whit too.""That’s enough." Caleb tightened his grip on his knife and fork, afraid he might accidentally fling them."Lucifer's getting old, and he's not satisfying you anymore, is he?"What was she doing, flirting with his wife?Georgina removed her hand from her chin and gave Caleb a big thumbs up."I wouldn't dare to say that word, but you're reall

    "If I stopped him from coming in, the things he could do would be worse than what's happening now."Yvonne changed into a green, form-fitting long dress, adjusting her makeup and hair in front of the mirror."Then I wouldn't be able to do business at all."Georgina crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe. "I can tell you never really intended to stop him."Yvonne glanced at her, her eyes soft and seductive.Georgina reached out and pinched her. "If I were him, I'd want to sleep with you too.""Get lost." Yvonne pushed her hand away. "Then have Lucifer handle it for me. Anyway, I don't have the authority to stop Blake. He’s a member of the Hilton family, after all."Georgina straightened up and became serious. "Are you sure?"Yvonne didn't answer, adjusting the straps of her dress as she walked out of the bathroom.Georgina smiled. "I knew you weren't serious."She draped her arm around Yvonne's shoulder as they walked out together. "Let's have a good talk. His paren
